Noone directed the production and designed the set.^[8]

In 2015, the Huntington Theatre Company produced The Second Girl, Noone's play inspired by Eugene O'Neill's family drama Long Day's Journey Into Night.^[9] The production was directed by Campbell Scott. The play was published in 2016 by the Eugene O'Neill Review.^[10]
